Forest City’s Bear Creek is 18 scenic holes of memorable golf. The front 9 (also known as ’The Cub’) is challenging and enjoyable, yet plays slightly easier than the back 9 (known as ‘The Grizzly’). You’ve never seen a more diverse group of holes on one golf course. Set your tee time today to play Forest City’s Bear Creek Golf Course.
